Kim Crawford

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2019

Pale yellow hue. Aromas of grass, grapefruit, guava, melon, passionfruit, pineapple. Light body and high acidity. Satisfying and exemplary New Zealand SB.

Ata Rangi

Martinborough Pinot Noir 2015

My first of 6. Smells like a full bodied Pinot Noir. The palate is rich with a lovely fruit sweetness, cherry and plum, and again, a full bodied Pinot Noir with intensity. Ticks all the boxes. Texture and the tannins are silky. Enough acid and tannin to go another 8 to 10 years. 98 points from HH. — 2 months ago

Loveblock

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc

This white wine has prominent notes of apple and pear on the nose, with hints of green apple and lemon grass to the taste. This white wine is not very acidic, and I enjoy that it is not too dry. — 2 months ago

Mohua

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2021

Pretty good, not quite there though. Little to acidic. Would buy again. $16 at the liquor store. — 3 months ago

Clonakilla

Canberra District Shiraz Viognier 2014

Another favourite Australian Red but this 2014 vintage not showing as well as it normally does. I put it down to the vintage. Aromatically it is spicy but subdued; digging deeper there is earth and clove with herbs. With time, meaty aromas emerge. Perhaps more time will reveal more and provide more depth on the palate. — 4 months ago

Finger Lakes Cabernet Franc 2021

Less remarkable than I remember from the winery visit, but still not bad overall for the price. Doesn’t quite fill out the palate but restrained fruit cores through. — 4 months ago
